PRESERVING MOUNT VERNON.
The Home of Washington Being Kept as
Model Farm.

Mount Vernon, under the management of
lady regents, is now model farm In the
dining-room is the sideboard used by the
family and returned to Mount Vernon by
Mrs. Robert E. Lee, the great granddaughter
of Mrs. Washington. The room i'll which
Washington died is fitted up throughout
with the original furniture. The vice regent
for Virginia is Mrs. Emma Read Ball, whose
husband is a grandson of Washington's
niece. The estate which includes POO acres
is kept in fine state of cultivation. The
revenue comes from the sale of flowers and
sweet milk, which latter is sold by the glass
in the family kitchen. Under the conditions
of transfer the mansion must be kept in re-
pair, but it must not be changed. In the
flower garden the box plant which edges the
walks is preserved in the exact design of the
hedges planted by Washington. The four
big sweet shrub trees, g ven to him by JEFF
ferson, still grow in beauty where they were
planted so long ago. The guide book to the
place was written by woman, Elizabeth
Bryant Johnston.-Eechange.

Poor little dears, the bitter tears ran down
their puny faces. From ear to ear in
grimy smear their knuckles left sad
traces.
Each little dress, a perfect mess, so rumpled-
Q, twas shOcking-and one small shoe
half hid from view meath an inverted
stocking.
While as they strayed each step they made
in WEAKNESS came tagging, and by Il
string one little thing headless horse
was dragging.
Still round about in thoughtless rout the ur-
chlns were pursuing; asked, as they
thronged, where they belonged, were an
swered with boo-hoo-ing.
There, there" said |, pray do not cry
thus pleasantly accosted one little lad
with visage sad exclaimed-"P leath thir
ives losted.
The other one when he had done, in tones
of melancholy, cried "I-boo- hoo-is
losted too an tant find my dolly"
Where do you live" They couldn't give
the slightest indication; or when they
tried they only cried dismal explana-
IlOQ.
Still they had not their names forgot; this
might assist me, maybe. The youngster
said-"They tails me Ted, an sister is
dess Baby
Twas all they had; the little lad from this
could not vary. "What's papa do?'
Papa, boo-hoo! lives in the cemetery"
Poor little dears! they moved to tears, their
helpless situation, their looks of woe,
their sobs-ho-ho! there came an inspi-
ration.
Strange there had not occurred this thought
most natural and handy: Now think

An Interesting Character.

In Duxbury, Mass, there lives in a lonely
old house most interesting character. Cap
tain John Alden, man of seventy-four, is
the only occupant. He is able to trace his
descent through seven generations back to
John Alden, who came over in the May
flower. The house in which he lives was
built in 1853. The captain is veteran of the
civil war and draws pension. He is very
proud of his descent from John Alden and
Priscilla.-Chicago Tribune

A Lost Landmark.

Berlin has lost one of it's most interesting
landmarks in the demolition of Bouche's
Blumengarten. In former years this garden
was the rendezvous of the most distinguished
literary lights of Berlin. The geographer,
Karl Ritter, used to read his proofs in one OF
its arbors, and Schleiermacher meditatlvely
walked in its shady paths and prepared his
Sunday sermons.

That is to say, your lungs. Also all
your breathing machinery. Very won
derful machinery it is. Not only the
larger air-passages, but the thousands
of little tubes and cavities leading from

When these are clogged and choked

Our Letter from the Sunny South

SOUTHERN PINES, N. c., Feb. 5, 'SI.
This is certainly pleasant climate and
a jolly, hospitabe people, even to the little
white-eyed darkies. There is no contcn.
tion or disturbance between the employcr
or laborer. | always thought up North
that there was great race question to be
solved; but tho question has solved itself
and in peaceable way. The darkies are
contented and happy, they expect To work.
The whites, North or South, never expect
to be governed or ruled by the black race.
They never expect to allow marriage be-
tween the races. Do you suppose that Hen
ry Ward Beecher would be willingUto see
his children marry negroes? If he @suld
not, neither were the negroes pleased at
Fred. Douglas marrying white woman.
This thing has settled down and will he
settled for all time-the white people are a
Superior race, they will rule North, East,
South and llest; the negroes know this and
are content. With the advantage of cheap
labor, farmers ought to make large profits
down here II they did not plant so much
cotton and tobacco. Northern farmers
coming down here and pursuing the same
course they do in the North can make as
much as they do North with less work and
certainly be in q much more pleasant elinl-

Special to the CARBON ADVOCATE.


FEBRUARY 9th, 1887.
The present legislature promises to make
itself famous, not for the number Of bills
presented and referred to the various com
mittees, but for the Tudicrous measures
which the dcmasogue presents and enthus-
fastically advocates, A good bit of time is
thus taken mp by the introduction of meas
ures which can benefit no one In the least
by their passage. Those familiar with the
constitution are aware that bill mus! pass
both House and Senate before going to the
Governor for his approval. A bill must be
read on three different days in each house
so that the process Of legislation consumes
considerable Time. 1t would probably not
be bad idea if a regular system were
adopted BY which limited number of bills
could be chalked upon the calendar. 1t
would be means Of limiting the amount
Of work for legislators. and be productive
Of good effects. At this time there are up-
ON the legislative calendar bills enough TO
occupy the attention Of that body for a
whole year, and every day finds new meas
Nres introduced, which only proves means
OF rstarding legislation rather than influ-
eRcing it. 1t seems to be the desire of the
Better and more intelligent members to ad-
journ as sooh after the first of May as pos
sible, although the session may possibly be
prolonged until the first of July.
The Prohibitionists are having jubilee
and are loud in their claims of credit for
the submission craze that has apparently
taken hold of the Republicans. 1t is safe
to presume. however, that if they knew the
true feelings Of tie Republican leaders to
them, they would not be so saDguine, not
so enthusiastic as lhey are now. Not
single one of the Republican Senators Is in
the lrast friendly 10 prohibition. 1t is
looked upon by them as aa impractieablo
and impolilic piece Of legislation which will
rebound with no benefit TO the Republican
party. What has been done thTs far by
The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1887-02-12

the Republicans for prohibition is not be-
cause they believe in 1t, or that they have
the least sympathy for the cause, but as a
means of bringing back to the fold the
sheep who have strayed from the stoclxyard
Of Republican ideas and principles to the
flimsy ideas and potions of the cranky
prohibitionists" The Republicans are not
to be caught mapping; the leaders of that
party were we'll aware what submission
plank could and would do for them or 1t
would never have been inserted. Quay and
Cooper and many more able party leaders
believe that IL this element is net appeased
the State will be lost to them in the neXt
campaign, 1t was for the same reason that
the Democrats inserted the high license
plank, which, after all, would be the best
means of restricting the liquor traffic.
Prohibition has been tried in many States
and not with very successful results, and
especially in a case of this kind where a
Submission law is passed for party ends ane
not for the good of the cause. 1t will cast
shallow On the face of the law and win
not be strict means of preventing the
breaking of it, that which is done for party
purposes will he unlone for the Same ends.
Without the liquor element the Republican
party is lost in this State, and it is hardly
to be hoped that the interests of that elc-
lnent will not be so severely antagonized
by the passage of a submission bill that
they viii leave the Republican party almost
to a man-especially wiu this be the case il
compensatory clause is not added.
The Governor sent his compliments to
the Legislature last week with an approval
of the Magistrates bill. He submitted nc
reason with the approval The new Gov.
ernor, no doubt, exhibited certain amount
of tact in not arguing the matter pro and
con. II is rather unfortunate that Beaver
should have had this distinctive politi
cal piece of legislative work thrust under
his nose at the outset of his career. There
is no question but that he would have
avoided it if he could, and especially sc
soon after his inaugural, when he had laid
such particular stress upon the fact that he
was public servant, ready for service
One political legislator observed when the
approval to the Magistrates bill was an
nounced in the House, that ''Bsaver takes
his medicine straight" Very straight. Il
must be confessed, and with proper expert
ence he will make dandy Governor.
